Flying people is nothing new....

Saint Joseph of Cupertino is believed to be a flying saint in Christian tradition

Of course if you were in the wrong crowd those same people that made him saint would burn you as a witch

The Flying Nun on TV was based on a true story

According to trustworthy records, Saint Theresa, a Carmelite nun, was one of the first levitator of the Middle Ages. Her flight was seen by 230 catholic priests. The nun wrote about her unusual “gift” in the autobiography dated 1565. It is quite noteworthy that Saint Theresa herself did not want to fly. She spent long hours praying desperately in an attempt to get rid of her special power. She was asking Lord to relieve her of that grace. One night the Almighty finally heard the nun’s praying. She did not fly ever since that night.
